It's not just your video card that needs more power to run Vista. I think in general you need to replace your entire system when going over to Vista. Anything over 6 months old just is not powerful enough for this memory/CPU/video whatever hog of an OS...

well the thing is its not that old,it has plenty of power i know that for sure.but this problem haz somthing to do with how much grafic mb you need.im not relly fussed over vistas AERO so im turning it off.bye doing this saves some mb of the video card.but still i think not enough.all i can think of is....i need another video card with plenty of grafic mb.

OK, if it isn't that old, please provide a complete hardware list so we can see where the problem is.
